10. Photos, books, or paper goods
Paper is similar to linen, meaning it can retain moisture and attract annoying pests. If you store books in your outdoor shed and leave them there for a long time, the pages might stick together, and particular bugs, like silverfish, love to have a paper feast and eat the glue used in bindings.
Moreover, your photos are more likely to get damaged due to high humidity, so if you want your physical memories to last forever, I recommend you get a photo album like this one. And if you store important documents outside, your confidential information might not be confidential anymore, so be careful. The best way to avoid a problem is to store your documents, photos, and books inside, where the temperature is constant and there’s not much humidity.
